| It is better to have a cold dinner—
| preferably one with no meats what-
| ever, as they are heating to the blocd.
| Eat lightly and dress simply.
Do not run through the boiling sun
shine to catch your car. Better miss
the car and get to the office a bit late
than become over heated.
Don’t ‘Worry. Worry is heating,
and is bad for the temper. Cultivate
a calm mind, do not rush feverishly
at your work; walk on the shady side
of the street, and drink plenty steri-
lized butter milk.
According to a ruling of Judge Wil-
lis of Harrisyille, W. Va., it is unlaw-
ful for a person to divide the contents
of a jug of liquor with others who
were contributors to the order and
paid in advance. He holds that the
distributor of such a package is a re-
tailer in the eyes of the law and
should be fined as such.
Tickets are transferable. The su-
preme court of Maryland has decided
that the purchaser of a berth ora
section in a sleeping car has the right
to give another person the use there-
of if he leaves the car before it reach-
| es the end of trip for which the berth
was bought; a passenger secured a
gection, rode in it for part of the trip
and then sold his section ticket to
another passenger, he leaving the
train. The second purchaser was re-
fused the use of the section by the
conductor of the car and was ejected,
whereupon he brought suit, with the
ahove result.
